Zhuang Rou thought about it, left the lobby and came outside, and heard that the officials said that there was really no place to live in the county government, and most of the houses had to be repaired, so she took the women to the restaurant opposite, found a few rooms in the back to live, and sent two officials to guard.

Yamen Zhong really can't live now, so she walked to the restaurant across the street, and when she saw her appear, she felt helpless. His restaurant is just opposite, and there was nothing before, but now he has been troubled several times in just a few days.

Zhuang Rou didn't go through the back door, went directly through the hall of the restaurant, and came to the courtyard at the back, where some rooms provided accommodation.

There are as many as nine ladies brought from Lin Laicai's house, and the least one is just over a year old, and he has to be taken care of by a nurse.

There are three rooms in the room, and the small ones are squeezed to settle down, and to separate them at this time will make them too frightened.

Zhuang Rou greeted the two officials sitting at the door, and when she learned that they were all gathered in one room now, she pushed open the door. The women inside all looked at her with a little horror in their eyes.

The two girls who came with me that day were all here, and the two of them were the biggest except for the nurse. When I saw her at this time, I was so frightened that I shrank back and hugged a four or five-year-old girl in my arms tighter.

Zhuang Rou looked at it, four to seven years old are the most, but all of them seem to be very educated, and none of them are like babies running around in the village. The people Lin Laicai invited to teach them are really capable, and they teach these children well.

"Poor master." The nurse stood up with the child in her arms, and saluted her, but she really couldn't find what to call the woman Ying Arrest.

Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "No need to be polite, just rest well, and tell me if you have any difficulties." ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at her timidly, that is, she arrested her father and mother.

Looking at them, Zhuang Rou sat down and said with a smile on her face: "I know that you were all adopted by the couple of them, and now I want to send you back to find your biological parents, if you can't find it, you will make another plan." ”

"Looking for your biological parents?" The girls all looked at her, and the girl Zhuang Rou had seen frowned and said, "I was sold by my parents, and I can't remember where my home is." And why do I have to go back to the house where I don't have anything to eat, and I want to sell my sons and daughters, I won't go back. ”

"My father died, and I heard that my mother was going to remarry, so she sold me. Now my parents are very good to me, so I don't want to go back. Another girl of about eight years old also preached, looking down at the silver bracelet they were wearing, and their hands were on their smooth clothes, who wanted to lose such a good day.

Zhuang Rou smiled and didn't speak, but her eyes looked at the other people, and suddenly found a five or six-year-old girl, looking at her with blank eyes, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

So she stretched out her hand and took the girl by the hand, took her to her lap and sat down, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

"Lin Zhenbao." The girl glanced at her sisters and said crisply.

Zhuang Rou smiled: "When did you come here to live with the nurses?" ”

Lin Zhenbao raised her cute little face and said: "I don't know, I was still with my mother during the Chinese New Year, and she was so sad to hug me and cry, I was brought here after a heavy snowfall that day." ”

It's only been two or three months!

"Sister, let's take you to the yard to play." Zhuang Rou stood up, hugged Lin Zhenbao and walked out, and several girls in the room kept staring at her, looking very worried.

Lin Zhenbao came too late, she was more generous and not afraid of people, she put her arms around Zhuang Rou's neck and asked in a low voice: "Sister, can you really take me to my mother?" ”

"You have to tell me where your mother is, so that my sister can take you to her." Zhuang Rou took her to the courtyard and sat down, and asked gently.

"I don't know where my mother is, one day someone came and took away all my things, and the beautiful clothes are gone. Mother's favorite hairpin was also snatched away by a fierce person, and we went to a place where there were very fierce people in it, and if they didn't obey, they would be beaten. Lin Zhenbao thought about it and said.

"I don't have to be beaten here, I can eat well, but I still want to see my mother......" she said and cried.

Zhuang Rou frowned, "What was your name before?" ”

"My mother called me Zhiruo, Song Zhiruo." Song Zhiruo sobbed and said, then thought about it and stammered a few more words, "The person who took us away at that time was dressed a bit like my sister, but she looked better than you." My sister should know them, can you let me see my mother? ”

Listening to her words, Zhuang Rou looked down at her suit, and her face suddenly changed. Then he returned to his original smile, "Zhiruo, what's your father's name?" ”

"Hmm......" Song Zhiruo frowned and thought hard for a long time, in the past, he was always called Dad, although this name was taught, but it was rarely said. Under Zhuang Rou's encouraging gaze, she finally remembered, "My father's name is Song Chu." ”

Zhuang Rou touched her head and said, "I wrote it down, you wait, I will definitely help you find your mother." ”

Song Zhiruo nodded, "Thank you, sister, I'll wait for you." ”

I told her a few words not to tell anyone else what she had just said, and then called the nurse out again.

The nurse is very timid, and the flat-headed people will be afraid when they see the tolerance, not to mention that the masters of the family are now arrested.

"Poor master." The nurse held the child and saluted, and screamed timidly.

Zhuang Rou hugged Song Zhiruo and asked, "Who else is in your family?" ”

"Hui Chaye, the people's daughter Zhao, there are two boys at home, because the family is poor, so he left the child who has just been full moon to come out to be a nurse, so as to subsidize the family. My home is in Sanli Village, not far from Ochi Village, and my family still doesn't know what happened to me. The nurse said with a sad face.

This child who has been nursing for a long time, and no one wants to find a new one, but there are still a lot of places to use money at home, which is really annoying.

Zhuang Rou said: "You continue to feed this girl, help me watch these few, especially her, can't let other big bullies be bullied." She signaled Song Zhiruo in her arms to let the Zhao family help keep an eye on it.

If Song Zhiru is taken out by her to speak, he will definitely be asked by the big ones when he goes back, and it is not certain that he will be beaten if he is not even.

The nurse whispered: "Thank you, but those girls are all young ladies, and they are pampered on weekdays, how can I manage it." ”

"Twenty taels of silver, as long as you help me watch it, no matter whether you want to take care of this child after this incident, I will give you twenty taels of silver when the case is over." How, can it be managed? Zhuang Rou didn't talk nonsense with her, she directly smashed it with silver, and she was going to throw the child out to be a nurse, and the family must be in urgent need of money.

Zhao Shi raised his head suddenly, and his gaze became a little terrifying, "Poor master, I will definitely do what you ask!" ”

Zhuang Rou smiled, "Don't be too nervous, as long as you don't let them bully people, she will sleep with you at night, and you don't have to be too strict, this case should not be over in a long time." ”

"Well, the folk girl understands." Zhao quickly nodded and saluted again, and then raised his head, and found that her hand was stretched over, and there was a piece of broken silver in her palm.

"Take it, if your family finds it, give it to them first." Zhuang Rou put the silver in her hand, put Song Zhiruo down, and handed it to Zhao.

She confessed a few words to the officials, nothing more than not to bully these women, but also not to let people run away. Although the officials have only been here for a few days, they have already heard of her prestige, and without her, the county government would be like a ruin.

Other people who should be arrested can be offended, only this one can't, and only with her can he make money.

The two agreed with smiles on their faces, and Zhuang Rou thought about it and threw more than one or two pieces of silver to the two of them, letting the two of them divide it by themselves. In the midst of their joy, she left the restaurant and returned to the county office.

At this time, the case was almost asked, and it was all made by Lin Lai, who was full of ashes, and Li Zhongxin didn't say a word. Zhuang Rou walked to the master and looked at the confession, what was written on it was similar to what Lin said, but the origin of the child only said that it was an orphan who was bought.

Zhuang Rou thought about it and whispered, "Master, is the little county king in the other courtyard?" ”

The master raised his head and looked at her a little strangely, but he still nodded and responded, "Here, what's the matter with you?" ”

"I want to see if he's healed, is it convenient to go?" Zhuang Rou smiled and said.

"It's convenient, you can just go over there." The master remembered what happened in the eldest princess's mansion, and what this sister said was to turn her head and forget it, but the little prince was very angry at the time, and he should be in a good mood when he saw her come to the door.

Zhuang Rou thanked him, and retreated to the back without affecting the case, and asked Chen Mufeng: "I'm going back, are you going with me or continue to listen here?" ”

Chen Mufeng is watching wonderfully, and he is standing in a good position, where do you want to go. What's more, Li Zhongxin is a member of their family, and he has to watch the case be tried before he can go back to explain to his brother and father.

He whispered, "I'll go back after I'm done, you can go first." ”

"That's up to you." Zhuang Rou patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

She went out and rode on her horse and went to the courtyard of the little king, anyway, it was next door to her courtyard, and it was convenient to come back after talking about things. At this time, the sun was setting, and she only felt hungry, so she decided to go to the little county king for dinner.

The Junwang Courtyard is different from the eldest princess's mansion, there are no fierce guards at the door, Zhuang Rou went up directly to knock on the door, and soon someone opened it.

After listening to her name, he went in to report, and soon politely invited her in, obviously it was a meal, but the little county king was not dining, but leaned on the soft couch in the study, squinting his eyes and looking at her with a smile.

Zhuang Rou stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen my lord." ”

Chu Xia raised his head and asked disdainfully, "Didn't you say that you hate me and never come to the door again?" ”

"That's talking about the eldest princess's mansion, this is an adult's courtyard, there should be no problem." Zhuang Rou said calmly.

With such a thick face, Chu Xia frowned and said, "I'm also here where you can come, and if you can't, you won't come?" If you say it, can you pretend that you haven't said it? ”

Zhuang Rou smiled and said, "I'm not a gentleman, I don't have a horse to chase when I speak, don't you have dinner, my lord?" ”

Chu Xia said angrily: "If you don't eat, you have no appetite if you are injured!" ”

"Then let the kitchen make me some, I'm hungry." Zhuang Rou didn't mind at all and said, he didn't eat and others still had to eat, and there must be food in the kitchen now.

"Huh?" Chu Xia looked at her inexplicably, whose home is this!
